This is my second week on the dose having worked up to this gradually. Can anyone tell me how long it took them before things settle down? At the moment my head feels woolly and makes me feel very lethargic.

    Lethargy should gradually ease up over the following 3 -4 months depending on how long you suffered before treatment, the nature of your condition (anxiety or plain depression) and how exhausted your system is). Are you on extend release or immediate release variety? Do you engage in any physical acivity?
